lyrics

When I was younger
A long, long time ago
And all my dreams felt so, so clear
I thought the world would
Bend to my will
But now I don’t know what to think

So we sing “Hey---. Don’t stray---
From what we believe because of fear”
So we sing “Hey---. Don’t stray---
From what we believe because of fear”

I gaze to the stars
To find the answers
Ask for a light to show the way
I close my eyes
I see potential
Why must these feelings follow me?

So we sing “Hey---. Don’t stray---
From what we believe because of fear”
So we sing “Hey---. Don’t stray---
From what we believe because of fear”

So we sing “Hey---. Don’t stray---
From what we believe because of fear”
So we sing “Hey---. Don’t stray---
From what we believe because of fear”

So we sing “Hey---. Don’t stray---
From what we believe because of fear”
So we sing “Hey---. Don’t stray---
From what we believe because of fear”
